On Sunday, the 27th of September 2026, Kano city, Nigeria’s ancient and vibrant metropolis, is set to witness a historic event. According to reports from Daily Post Nigeria (dailypost.ng), two separate royal processions are scheduled to take place. The 16th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, is slated to hold the Hawan Babban Daki, while the 15th Emir, Aminu Ado Bayero, will attend the Hawan Fatahu Yakasai on the same day. The dual celebrations promise a unique spectacle in Nigeria’s rich cultural tapestry. While the specifics of each event have not been detailed, this double royal procession is set to be a significant event in the history of Kano Emirate.
The exact reasons for these separate processions are unclear at present. However, it’s worth noting that Muhammadu Sanusi II was deposed as the Emir of Kano in 2020 and subsequently banished to Nasarawa, before being reinstated earlier this year. It is possible that his return has prompted the need for a special celebration. Further information regarding the specifics of these processions and their significance will likely emerge closer to the date.
